Driving and Operating

.

Brown: Taillamps

.

White: Ground

.

Light Green: Back-up Lamps

.

Red: Battery Feed*

.

Dark Blue: Trailer Brake*

*The fuses for these two circuits are
installed in the underhood electrical
center, but the wires are not
connected. They should be
connected by your dealer or a
qualified service center.

If charging a remote (non-vehicle)
battery, press the tow/haul mode
button located at the end of the shift
lever. This will boost the vehicle
system voltage and properly charge
the battery. If the trailer is too light
for tow/haul mode, turn on the
headlamps as a second way to
boost the vehicle system and
charge the battery.

Electric Brake Control Wiring
Provisions

These wiring provisions are
included with the vehicle as part of
the trailer wiring package. These
provisions are for an electric brake
controller. The instrument panel
contains blunt cut wires near the
data link connector for the trailer
brake controller. The harness
contains the following wires:

.

Dark Blue: Brake Signal to
Trailer Connector

.

Red/Black: Battery

.

Light Blue/White: Brake Switch

.

White: Ground

It should be installed by your dealer
or a qualified service center.

If the vehicle is equipped with an
ITBC, the blunt cuts exist, but are
not connected further in the
harness. If an aftermarket trailer
brake controller is installed, the
ITBC must be disconnected.

Do not power both ITBC and
aftermarket controllers to control the
trailer brakes at the same time.

Tow/Haul Mode

Pressing this button at the end of
the shift lever turns on and off the
tow/haul mode.

This indicator light on the instrument
panel cluster comes on when the
tow/haul mode is on.
